I thought the group at the Primm Casino are NCR Deserters turned bandits who thought Primm was an easy score.

[@Bonu5epic]

I'm now realizing I've never been back to Primm's casino once I finish the quest, so I've never, in hundreds of hours known that it's an actual usable casino

You can Save the survivors in Vault 34. To have this occur, do the NCR Vault 34 questline as normal up to the reactor. Instead, choose to save the survivors. Exit the vault and wait 3-5 days in game. Go to Aerotech office park. The vault 34 survivors will be in one of the buildings.

[@TheRealRusDaddy]

And you can tell then you were the one that saved them and theyll thank you and i think you can help them find a more permanent home i havent messed around with aerotech park much tho

[@rusticpath2244]

I always thought that there was no survivors. Finding out that there were survivors actually made it a much more difficult choice. I assumed since they were dead, it didn't matter that I doomed them. I thought they were ghouls.

[@vojtechpeterka1929]

Damn....fck...completed this quest just few days ago and I have NEVER met them before so I just murdered them as I thought nothing will change after you save them

[@keyblademasterclark]

I let the survivors die. There's only a few of them and in order to save them I have to make it impossible to grow crops on the farm. Sorry, but those crops will save a lot more people than those few vault dwellers.

[@DailyCorvid]

Said like a true commie, waht's more important than people? Their food and money! Lol you'd be Caesers replacement after I punched his head into goop, right after duelling with Benny. Fallout NV remaster could actually make these moments more a focus, I thought this was one of the coolest most difficult things in the whole game! I always save the crops too but I never thought the survivors would life through it and assumed you are supposed to not care. But if you can save them, who knows one of them may be the one to save the future! That would be better than feeding a few dozen randoms in the desert imo. God this was such a great game, I really really hope they do a proper respectful remaster. I would pay $100 for the boxed special edition and get a rip-off Bethesda plastic bag lol.@@keyblademasterclark

Fun fact, the dialogue when returning private Morales is actually different depending on how low your health is. If it's low you get what was said in the video (you need to get to a medic) but if you're at full health, they say "I don't believe it. Who the hell are you, man? How did you just walk right up and pull him out of there?"

Melody has a similar teddy bear quest inside The Fort. To me, one of the most obscure missions that’s actually marked is the one where you rescue those NCR soldiers trapped in the mine, or the Camp Guardian NCR soldier trapped with the lakelurks.

[@stormhawkdude]

Same, I didn't know about that until my third play through when I wanted to do the Ranger quest and had to go out to a Station near the edge of the map I never heard of, *ONLY TO LEARN OF YET ANOTHER STATION I HAD NEVER HEARD OF* and it annoyed the shit out of me because I had thought I did a 100% playthrough in my second run and this one was just going to be a mess around gag-fest

[@pyromaniac000000]

The teddy bear quest in the boomers camp is actually the more common child/teddy bear quest. The more rare one is returning sergeant teddy to melody at the fort. Not only is it in the fort, which in most playthroughs wont exactly be friendly towards you, but also she has a tendency to glitch out of bounds, right behind the loading zone to the inner camps. So not only is it in an area you likely wont be looking for side quests, but she also glitches out of reach in the majority of cases. Any sort of combat makes her flee out of bounds, since she clips through the loading zone never to return. That means if the legion is hostile, quest is unreachable. Decided to fight the slaves for fame? Quest unreachable. Oh, and one of the options in actually retrieving the teddy bear is itself a fight with dogs, so by the time you have the bear, guess what, unreachable.

Ran afoul of her bugging out in my latest playthrough, yeah. She didn't phase out of reality but did stay in a state of refusing to actually initiate conversation because I'd already killed all the legionaries in the area. Unfortunate since killing the guy who has her bear is the easiest way to retrieve it. Ended up using the console to reset her mission status just so I could give her back the teddy.

[@samarafujioma6588]

This quest didn't glitch on my playthrough. But the most frustrating part of this quest for me was the list of items to fix the oven. I spent multiple in-game days bouncing between merchants to try and find two pressure cookers. Eventually, I gave up and just googled where to find some. When I went back to the machine, when I got back, my courier didn't even use the items to fix it with. She just used some bobby pins.

[@HerHollyness]

I’m honestly surprised you put The Screams of Brahmin on here - it’s probably the only unmarked quest that the player gets specifically told about in interactions with named characters. You’re led to it during the main game. I’d be surprised if many people didn’t find it on their first playthrough.

[@sammylpt9076]

@Junkyard Dog Reviews It’s also one of the few quests you can spend as long as you like spamming the “asking for the reward” option and getting unlimited full condition service rifles. I did it for 30 minutes and received about 250 service rifles with a further 7 odd thousand 5.56mm bullets. Sure it’s a cheat but it’s an easy way to max out caps for better gear build playthroughs

[@EVeljko]

Trying to remember some, in Primm you can talk to the robot and recover Vance's SMG, in the Legion camp there's also a kid that asks you to find their teddy bear and, this one might even be a marked quest, but i only recently stumbled upon it, in the Khans camp you can talk to some dude and he asks you to see if he can join the Followers instead.

I wouldn't say this one is that well hidden and you already pointed to the reason why.

One of those advisors, and the quest points right to her, is Melissa.

There is actually a THIRD unmarked quest located in the Boomer's schoolhouse, in which the player can offer the Boomer Teacher advice on how to improve her curriculum. Unfortunately, there is very little information about this quest online, and I haven't had any luck getting it to trigger.

[@mattps.3040]

They're skill checks i believe so might not show up without those skills?

[@thesuperunknown5865]

You have to go into the school house when the class isn't in session - then you need to pass certain skill checks (Guns, Barter, Speech, and something else I can't recall, typically between 60 and 75).

[@Stubbies2003]

So just to get precise on this since doing this quest is SO much better than wasting that many special points on the almost worthless charisma special these are the skills you need for this one: 50 Repair, 60 Barter & Guns, 75 Speech. I'd also suggest that if you are going to do the other main quests at Nellis like Ant Misbehavin', etc. that you get those quests BEFORE doing this as the teacher can max out your Boomers faction and Volare! will no longer point to Raquel, etc. but just back to Pearl. Which can make those other quests annoying to get started.

[@kjell3807]

There is another unmarked quest that I recently came across. It's called "Dealing with Contreras" it's quite well hidden at the very end of the Camp McCarren building. It's basically a quest where you run errands for him and in the end get access to his secret stash. This quest has multiple endings with him, someone in Westside or Lt. Boyd. The wiki says that the quest is initiated by the player talking to Boyd or going to Contreras terminal, but you can go to Contreras, pass a speech check that makes you tell him that he has a secret stash for people he can trust and likes. The way to getting the Westside ending is rather abnoxious because you must have 7 perception as well as intelligence to pass a speech check, and the Lt. Boyd ending was never an option for me because I couldn't talk to her about Contreras and what he's doing. At the end of the quest you get a rifle that's pretty good and access to Contreras secret stash. When you sell him items, he will wear whatever is the highest DT clothing and drop all items you sold him if you kill him.

[@beagay963]

One detail I love about the body recovery quest is the dialogue changes based on health. The one shown is if you take a decent amount of damage in the process.

I can't believe i actually completed all these hidden quests. I think i may have explored more of new vegas than i realized

[@tobe1207]

I lived in NV for like 2 yrs

[@LordofIsleofTritone]

Loved this video, one of my favorite unmarked quests is Barton the Fink. Just because it plays on the stereotypical "Help me, player character!" and also because Barton is kind of stupid

[@j.a.8224]

I love the "Live" bit in Aerotech... it makes it look even more like a setup to just kill the guy, as Captain Parker can't help but stare into the camera as he says his lines. But had to get it on film so he could insist he totally didn't plan to just execute the guy off the bat.

[@VinceMouse]

The Screams of Brahmin is a great way to pick up a minigun early game. Whether you sell it or use it, it's a great pick up early. Especially if you use some easily made Repair Kits to fix it up.

[@NeroLordofChaos]

Funfact: the body recovery quest has alternate dialog if you complete it _WITHOUT TAKING DAMAGE._ This doesn't mean talk to the soldier with 100% HP, it means take no damage. A bit irritating to pull off because the fiend's aggro range means they'll occasionally snipe at you in addition to the mines and traps around the area. I forget the excact dialog, but he refers to you as "Some kind of hero"

[@NeroLordofChaos]

I just remembered, there's at least _THREE_ variations to the soldier's dialog. No Damage: "some kinda hero" Damage: "get patched up" Limb crippled/heavy damage: "How could you sacrifice your body like that!?"

I like the intro to the video reminds of me Guru larry missing the "Hello you"

[@solaceixinera4015]

I love how this video came out 6 months ago, and vegas is a decade old. This game is timeless, and I appreciate that you take the time to still love it like I do.

[@dymmartemyanovsuchowlanski9545]

It hurt hearing you call No-bark ugly

[@PKAmedia]

You missed the unmarked quest where you take down the Legion, NCR, and House, and returning Snuffles to their rightful place as the ruler of the Mojave

[@nurgle-j5n]

i missed that one on my first couple playthroughs too

[@Agrippa_]

There is a lot of fun new information to be had in this video. Another reason to revisit Fallout Nev Vegas 🤠

[@kagenotatsumaki]

Wait, YOU CAN GAMBLE IN PRIMM AFTER THE MERCENARY ENCOUNTER!?!? 13 Years, $80 collectors edition, day one and I NEVER knew that!

[@Banana-Boi]

I didn't even know about the mercenaries.

[@Stubbies2003]

Yes this is another casino you can get a bunch of caps from. As long as you do those three bits listed in the video.

[@HawaiiKnut]

The Food Processor quest is worth it if you're playing Old World Blues. You can break down the Maize to create other food reagents.

[@chrishodgson5430]

It's kinda funny: I didn't know about most of these, but the one you say you just recently learned about was one I found on my first play through. Fun video buddy.

[@dummy_vicc2976]

literally any of the sewer quests, feel like most people miss that you can go in them at all, which is honestly fair

[@phoneone1371]

who else have gotten lost AF in the sewers ? i know i have

[@paulriskalas2200]

I've been playing New Vegas since its release, today I learned about the generator in Sloan, the tumbleweed Nightkin, Dr. Kemp's location, and Mr. Cuddles at the AFB! Fantastic work. Discussing the content as it should be. Got tired of other videos where it is screaming and wailing and flailing arms around to "entertain". A true professional approach. Keep it up!

[@House0Brick]

Great video as always. Can't wait for your streams this weekend!

[@ItsJabo]

haha, going on holiday for a week bro, but yeah me too

[@kritizismmusics9737]

Ah so that's why it took a while for the casino in Primm to start up. Apparently they felt I'd take 3 in game days to move body's lol

[@avzed1789]

My personal list: "Help for Halford" Camp Guardian is so out of the way of everything else. Only true explorers would naturally come across it. "Don't Make a Beggar of Me" Never would've expected to find (alive) people in the quarry. "Wind Brahmin Wrangler" Already mentioned in video. "Bye Bye Love" First, the trigger hidden behind either a high skill check or finding someone tucked away deep in the vault where you normally wouldn't go. Second, and more importantly, there's a limited window when it can be done (Needs to be done before "How Little We Know").

[@lauram5905]

Beggar was slightly easier if you approached it from Red Rock Canyon, I think Diane gives you the quest after you've done a few runs for her. Depending on how you approach the Cazador pass, if you've got a good companion (ED-E in my case), and you can do sneak critical snipes, you only have a few young deathclaws up the rear side of Quarry Junction, and it puts you right at their camp. It's a perfect safe spot for practicing the Sloan quest or the Thorn quest with your build too

[@danytalksmusic]

I have to say that your use of background music in this video is phenomenal! It's so easy to just throw on the Fallout soundtrack in the back like most people do, but I think the extra effort here made the video feel more refreshing and engaging!

[@skurblord3401]

In the body retrieval quest the dialog from the soldier changes depending on how well you do. For example if you take minimal damage they will treat you like some badass. Always blows my mind just how much possibility they shoved into this game that most won't ever get to see.

[@tomatowhale414]

The song at 7:42 is Sony Boogie by Master Stryker, incase anyone was curious

[@BreadApologist]

Bringing back the rangers body is probably my favorite quest in the fallout series. It just genuinely felt good.

[@unchainedabomination7228]

I'm actually pretty proud. I found all of these on like my 3rd playthrough without youtubing but just throughly exploring and talking to everyone, this game and fallout 3 are still my favorite games of all time, it's October 2022 and I'm still playing these games over other games I have

[@crulas]

Maize is actually the best food in hardcore, since after u get the perk that basically doubles every food/drink which you get water from, and it will double the food and water, basically it will give 60 food and 30 water, making it the best thing for hardcore players.

[@NewPaulActs17]

you did my iowan-illinoinan blood proud

[@theVIPoet]

Add some key lime and you set 🤣

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

Prickly pear fruit is actually better. It is lighter weight, and it provides more water than food - which is more important anyway.

[@generalmcterror2718]

I’m surprised I knew about all of these lol the Novac one, body retrieval, the primm deserters, and one not in this one but dealing with Contreras I discovered by accident on my first play through it’s why I love This Machine so much as it tends to be my work horse rifle in every play through even in a Legion play through

[@Foundry_made]

The first time I did the mini - quest at aerotech dealing with Keith, after Captain Parker shot Keith he laid down on a mattress, rolled over on his side and started sucking his thumb. I attempted to speak to him and he told me he needed space and to leave him alone or something like that. Needless to say I was rofl when this happened. I have not been able to get this action to repeat again and I have no idea why it happened. Anyone else ever experience this??

[@phoneone1371]

i havnt had that happen but ive had a bunch of stuff like that over the years happen and never repeat ,personaly i think some things have been patched out because of glitches mabey , i know at one time major knight would repair your stuff the whole game every time you went there but it dosent happen anymore and i ran into victor one time in a shack in the desert ,i was stuck in the bedroom and had to kill him to get past him i was new at gaming and didnt know about going to last save

For the body recovery quest, you actually get different dialogue depending on how injured your are when you talk to the NCR trooper.

[@nguyenquyetthang1326]

Depending on your health loss, the NCR soldiers will have different quotes. If you take no damage when recovering Esteban's body, they'll say something different

[@Beastlango]

I knew you could be evil in New Vegas, but telling a child her stuffed bear died…that is just too far

[@MyArchive930]

I knew about the Primm mercs, not the functioning casino though.

[@ItsJabo]

A lot of people seem to miss the functioning casino, which is crazy because its basically free money

[@DreadPirateRoberts33]

For the one in Novac with the invisible night king you literally just have to walk in the farmers house and speak to him and then go back outside and straight to the rock. It doesn’t need to be night or anything. He’s just standing there invisible and you can shoot him and get the gun.

[@breadpilled2587]

I've played new Vegas way too much, I knew all of these holy shit Thats not healthy Great video!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Claws Mended is actually a perfect example of an unmarked quest that feels natural. The game expects you to interact with things, so seeing a non-hostile molerat entices curiosity. And after working on Snuffles, it would be only natural to ask someone about the molerat, seeing the "i fixed up Snuffle's leg" dialog option flows smoothly.

[@megaexplosion7488]

an unmarked quest i found around my first time playing was in the brotherhood of steel bunker where you must find a laser pistol for the quartermaster in the scorpion gulch that some of the initiates left when they were sneaking out to be shoot stuff, an easy quest that you get a tribeam laser rifle as well as brotherhood fame, though i think you have to follow the plot right to find the pistol i dont think you can talk about the gun and then go find it

[@phoneone1371]

found that bone on probably 8th playthrough a few years ago

[@Stubbies2003]

Yeah the pistol won't be there until you have gone through the text to get that unmarked quest.

[@tylerwood8710]

Fwiw: I've done every one of these and never knew they were rare. I have an OG Fallout approach and talk to EVERYONE. All that being said: I have never lied to Lindsey, the Mini Boomer. Never, ever saw that dialogue. Awesome insight. Thanks for this!

[@hermos3602]

Funnily enough, I actually knew about all of these unmarked quests on my very first playthrough. I accidentally stumbled across some of them.

so you also found peter the second griffin while going to caesars camp? cus i found him and i have photo proof

The McCarran unmarked quest you do for a secret gun smuggler should've made the list, it's probably the longest unmarked quest that Actually feels like it's meant to be a side quest, it's unfortunate buggy I think

[@ZeldaCDI99]

12:35 excuse me?? Nobark is a sexual icon!

[@whirlwindsky]

wait.. the last hidden quest I did on my first ever playthrough. I wouldn't have thought for it to show up on the list. It is a great one to show though, at least so everyone can read the holotape description. Gave me a good laugh when I saw it for the first time

[@conedx]

have played hundreds and hundreds of hours of new vegas (i'm in the middle of a playthrough right now, actually). two of the quests mentioned in this video i've NEVER SEEN.

[@TWISTEDGiraff3]

M8 half the quests you said you were like “people probably already know this one”

[@miguelmata4557]

Worth noting is that taking care of the Nightkin in Novac is enough to get the key for the vacant room at the motel free of charge, so yeah free steaks and player housing.

[@TheAfker]

dude your editing is getting so good amazing work man

[@Fourrr4]

Felt like all of these were pretty well known, was expecting auld lang syne to be on this list because if you don’t follow it exactly and do one wrong thing you’ll never finish the quest

[@aetherace8775]

Man, I remember your first video I ever watched was an Overwatch tips video back in... 2016? 2017? Sometime around there. Crazy how much the channel has changed since then. Love this channel man, keep it up.

What about the quest that gives you “this machine” stopped bothering after I lost track of what I was doing

[@MollyWinter]

Currently playing through New Vegas again and recently completed the Captain Parker/Keith unmarked quest. Whenever I talked to Captain Parker when he was standing over Keith's body, he'd fire rounds into his corpse when I closed the dialogue.

[@BatsofPrey]

Scrapping that generator in Sloan is so evil especially when Lone wolf radio between good springs and primm has everything you need for Ed-E in it

[@redfalconfox]

It was probably my 10th playthrough before I discovered Sloan. Also interesting enough, I somehow managed to wander north assbackwards to New Vegas avoiding the murderbugs and murderlizards by accident on my first playthrough. Imagine my surprise on my second playthrough.

[@Bobalini1]

4:30 Funny thing is that in development the "wind-brahmin" used a basic creature ai to make them "walk," which included bleeding when shot and having hp. This sidequest was going to feature high level tumbleweed that try to kill you, but it was scrapped when the way they function was changed

[@hydrothermalworm7778]

i didn't know many of these hidden quests, let alone that there were 83 unmarked quests in New Vegas! The one where you have to grab the dead guy's corpse surprised me! I've never done that quest, and I've beaten this game at least 4 times. Awesome content!

[@lupadapupa1957]

well that nightkin stands behind the rock all the time. usually i simply plant a dynamite in his inventory so no need to fight him

[@TheeLeodraco420]

Why are there NO videos on where to find the perk quests?? The perk quests are exactly what it sounds like. After completing the quest, you get a special perk ONLY obtainable by beating the quest. Like that one quest where you kill giant fire ants in some sewer and a doctor gives you a choice between two perks that are mad powerful. I know of more but I haven't played in a LONG time so I've forgotten

[@RiveryJerald]

they aren't guests, it's under the challenges

[@sarahnova1567]

In case of Ranger Morales, I think there are even two or three answers! One normal one, one where they basically call you a beast if you hardly took any damage, and the one you showed! I really love the attention to detail for that quest, especially since I adore doing it.
